Gemma Collins has revealed she is abstaining from men and sex for at least one year following her failed engagement to Rami Hawash

'The Only Way is Essex' star has sworn that she will stay single and abstain from sex for a year following her failed engagement to Rami Hawash.

The bubbly blonde got engaged to Rami over Christmas but their engagement lasted just three weeks.

She told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I'm a born-again virgin. I'm not looking for any man. I'm off sex and off men - and I'll be staying well away. I've taken a chastity vow, hopefully for a year.

"I went through such a bad time that the thought of going out with someone else is just a big no. I'm not looking for love. I've got no interest."

The 33-year-old reality star also insists she isn't wallowing over the end of her relationship.

She added: "I'm having loads of fun. I was out last night having a good drink until 5am, and I'm having a brilliant time. It's so nice to be able to enjoy myself."

And Gemma even threw herself a big celebration after calling off her brief engagement to Rami, whom she has been dating on-and-off since 2011.

She revealed: "My freedom party was absolutely amazing. All the cast were there and Arg serenaded me."

Gemma previously claimed she ended her relationship due to Rami's alleged abusive behaviour.

She said: "He made me feel bad about myself. He'd say I was a 'fatsie'. If I got dressed up to go out he'd say, 'Look at you' with this sneer on his face and tell me I should put on jeans and a top. We would row all the time.

"I honestly think I went through a nervous breakdown. I felt under such pressure."
